Hi all, I've been trying for quite some time to cook my first rom. I've now read a lot on the subjects here on these forums but it seems the vox is not the easiest device to start with I've successfully extracted all files from an .nbh rom upgrade. I've then extracted everything to /dump folder using prepare_imgfs.exe and imgfstodump.exe. Here I can delete/change/add files in the directory and rebuild the rom with buildimgfs.exe but it is not a very clean cooking... I'd like to be able to use Package tool. Actually I can use it and get the two folders /OEM and /SYS but then I really don't know how to rebuild the rom using Buildos.exe. Does anyone know how to do this ?
Tell me if my english is not very understandable..
I've finally been able to use these tools after a lot of trials and errors. But there is a lot of fixing to do in the building process. For exemple after running OEM and SYS folders through BuildOs a lot of files are missing in temp\dump
It seems every important file is missing in each of the subfolders. Missing dll's, missing exe's...
For example if I look in the zlib.dll\ directory I can see 5 files : imageinfo.bin, imageinfo.txt, S000, S001, S002, S003 BUT no zlib.dll ?! So I have to manually reimport those files... Is this a known issue with buildos and if so is there any solution to it ?
Thanks for any help
My bad, just realised reimporting the dlls is not at all needed
Still speaking alone ?
Perhaps this thread from the Kaiser forum helps you.
Dr Gonzo.... i would have lied to said something but my knowledge of cooking ROMs is zilch.... but i was hoping someones cooks a ROM for the Vox ... so wanted to ask u how its going?
I've been able to build an awkward "kitchen" for the Vox but I don't know yet if the roms built with it are really stable. Awkward because I don't really know how to write batch files and because I had to add a .dsm taken from Bepe's kitchen for Buildos.exe to work (but I delete it once the dump folder is rebuilt). But I have been able to add/remove packages and it seems to work.
I am currently building my rom from the Arabic one with smarttoolkit included, custom system screens, commanager and homescreen, office and HTC audio manager removed, windows live updated, Jbed instead of Jeodek etc... It seems to be stable but some things don't work yet (I still need to edit the registry)
But what I'd really like would be the possibility to add Bigstorage to the rom as it increases free memory from what I've read.
Maybe I can release this kitchen with some instructions and someone better than me could improve it ?
RE
Yeah that would be awesome to get some Vox Rom cooking happening when can you post your kitchen?
I'm in the process of writing a quick guide to go along my very dirty kitchen to show how to use it. For the moment only with HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90 as a base rom because I haven't tested anything else yet.
I have been toying with the idea recently of brewing a ROM that is entirely my own, something that fits my needs perfectly. However, I am having trouble figuring how to go about doing so.
1. Basically, what I want to do is to start with a stock AT&T ROM, strip everything out of it, then only add back in what I use. It would seem simple enough, however what gets me is that when I extract the AT&T ROM, most of the applications seem to be contained within the OEMAPPS folder, with no simple way to sort through it. Sure I could just delete the folder and re add what I want, but thats not exactly what I had in mind. I would really like to pull out all the apps from that folder into their own individual folders so that I can keep anything if I feel like it while not having to keep everything. Does anyone know how to do this, or if there is any way other than doing it manually?
2. If I want to have registry tweaks installed on the ROM, what is the best way to go about doing so?
3. I have been searching and searching, but I cannot seem to figure out where the image that appears after the device splash screen is stored. Can someone point me in the right direction? I know Alex has his own custom image. EDIT: I am referring to the Welcome Screen.
4. When I previously cooked ROMs using the kitchen, it seems to retain the version number of the ROM that I based mine off of. Does anyone know the reason for this?
Yeah, a lot of questions I know, but once I get my ROM finished, I'll be sure to release it here.
Best thing I can recommend to you is try Alex's ROM Cooking tutorial. His ROM is AT&T ROM stripped. All apps are in OEM format so you can re-add as needed. The process of stripping the OEM apps is complicated and you need to find all files associated with a certain program.
Alex already did this so why do it again? You get a fully stripped ROM.
For the registry tweaks take a look at the OEM Packages included with Alex's ROM Cooking tutorial. There are several registry tweaks he has included so you can take a look at it and create you own from that.
The splash/welcome screen is called welcomehead.96.png. It's in the \Windows folder. You can cook your own by replacing the file in "SYS\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320" folder if you use Alex's ROM tutorial. It's probably the same for other ROMS if you extracted your own but I haven't tried this. I replaced it so each time I create a ROM it's already there.
As for the ROM version you can change it (I think). In the OEM folder there's an OEMVERSION that contains a .provxml file. You can edit that and you'll see a version number.
Hope that helps.
Right, I know Alex has already released a completly stripped down version, but I really just want to cook something entirely of my own. Not that I dislike Alex's package, but I really would just like to do the work entirely by myself so that I can know all of the changes that were made, and how they were done. It gives me the kind of flexibility that I would like. Also, Alex has made some of his own changes to his UltraClean, so I don't have the level of control that I want.
I've started trying my hand at cooking some of my own ROMs over the past couple of days and have gotten confused on some stuff. I've been following the both the Wiki's and the threads on cooking but none of them seem to point it out so here goes.
1) I'm trying to use a base ROM such as this one or this one and have been successful in both dumping them and cooking them using Alex's latest revision of KaiserKitchen and his apps. When I am including the os.nbh file during the cooking process, should it be the one that comes up in the main KaiserKitchen folder or the one that is located in the BASEROM folder? Is either of those files just the OS part of the ROM without all the applications and such?
2) After cooking and successfully flashing either of the two before mentioned ROMs I will always get the auto-installer which occurs on a default ROM. The problem is is that none of the defined packages that I've chosen in the cooking process will be installed when the ROM is flashed. Why is this? Is there something that I should be doing that I'm not doing now that will allow this?
I would greatly appreciate any help in this as I want to become an avid chef but want to learn the ropes first. I've been toying around with it and wanted to get a decent collection of base ROMs and understand them before I start customizing them and such. Again, any help would be thoroughly appreciative and love what you guys are doing here.

os.nb should be in base rom with RUU_signed.nbh(once youve extracted) The File that is generated during ervius package tools is OS-new.nb-this is your new os. Kaiser Wiki has all info.

I've been searching the Wiki like crazy and I guess I am just confused on it. So OS-new.nb is the OS ROM with all of the packages, Which one would be just the OS itself? The os.nb file in the BASEROM folder?

Yeah, but dont worry about os.nb in base rom folder, unless you dont want to mod the rom and just add your fave radio/splash/spl. If thats all you want to do then recomplile using htcrt.exe in tools folder. OS .nb is what is extracted into OEM SYS and ROM folders in the kaiserkitchen. To add Packages put a folder called Packages in your kaiserkitchen and put your OEM Packages in it, then run KAISERKITCHEN.CMD chose option c then b. When Ervius build os +package tool opens,click the right tab and add rom(Add your kaiserkitchen folder,but make sure its on your desktop). You will then get a list of packages in the premade folder, just tick the ones you want to add to your rom. Once happy click build rom. Once done exit and KAISERKITCHEN.CMD should crack on by itself....then bring up a couple more apps(Rom Tool and Pagepool)just do what they say . every time you exit these apps KAISERKITCHEN.CMD will take you to the next step.

speaking of the htc rom tool, does anyone have a mirror for the latest version (1.1.1). it's not working on his site, and I 'm really interested in the command line support

Theres a new ROM tool????Anyone tried??
NEW IS GOOD!!!
Thank you so much for the clarification. I've also been trying to find a decent kitchen setup and the one made by Alex is the best one I've encountered so far but haven't really steered too far from his build. I have to agree that a new version of the HTC Rom Tool would be cool.

So if I'm understanding this correctly....in order to achieve a completely clean ROM without all the extra fixings I would simply need to use the os.nb file and not the os-new.nb file when cooking correct?
No, the only way to get a completely clean base is to use one someone made, or to manually remove extra oems from an uncorrupted rom (which usually means stock). os.nb is the donor imgfs, os-new.nb is the donor imgfs with your added pkgs.
The PPCkitchen.org kaiser kitchen is clean, and is way simpler to use. If you're trying to get to a clean base, do yourself a favor and just use it.
so... does this mean that if I use for say OEM HTC ROM, and put the os.nb in the base folder, when I build it using the tool, whatever packages I selected are simply added to whatever is on the OS.NB? I thought it would use the baserom as base and whatever apps installed on it are ignored. I guess I totally got it wrong then... So how do you strip out all the programs that have been installed in the baserom? Does this mean you have to dump the image?

I do know that in order to get the base OEM packages out of the main build you have to go through and remove and edit certain files to get it done right, which there is information in the Wiki about but haven't really had time to focus on it much. As for the PPCKitchen.org version of the Kitchen, I'm going to try it when I get home tonight because I'm at work currently. Gguruusa, you have to understand that some of us are new to the cooking community and want to be able to get our feet wet slowly and make sure we do stuff right instead of damaging our device. I've only got one Tilt and I don't want to completely destroy it. I would love to cook but need to be able to start off with a simple clean base rom with no extra ingredients and then go from there.

That's why ppckitchen.org was born. With ppckitchen.org, it's a point and click thing to build a rom. The mysterious part (making a kitchen base) is done for you. All you have to focus on is what packages you want to add.
You still have to unlock your device and install radios outside the kitchen, which is where people generaly brick their devices.

I shouldn't have any problems then seeing as to how I know that you need to have HardSPL installed and also to be sure to flash the radio AFTER the ROM in order to prevent bricking.
But that takes the whole fun out of cooking a rom when the base is already made for you...!!!
I will have to say my most challenging part is trying to get the base rom the way I like it in order to add whatever I want.
For example....
In my current kitchen I have deleted all of the OEMAPPS folders except the dsm file. I have then rebuilt all of my programs like the way a Diamond and Raphael ROM is....
In essence, If I was to just build my ROM without any packages it would be a clean rom without any software like camera, mms, phoneskins ect....
Its taken awhile thats why I have not published my newest rom yet...

I totally agree my favourite build was one that went wrong and nearly bricked my phone....sounds sick, but it was going back over what i had done and fixing that was the fun part. That ROM turned out to be possibly my most stable (Yardie 2.1.240) Ha ha i love cooking!!!

Bah. The fun of cooking is getting a ROM to look and feel like you want. Making a kitchen is entertaining when you haven't done it before, but it's really 99% repetition and 1% art.
Hi all,
Perhaps it is a newbie question so please bear with me.
I have an i-mate K-Jam flashed with TNT rom (build 20273). It works perfect and nice, however (frankly speaking) I don't like or want some of the APPs installed with this ROM, but I can't uninstall them.
I've searched this forum to find a way to extract the OS (OS only) from TNT rom so that I can flash my wizard and then install all the APPs I want, with no luck. Perhaps my search skills are a little poor...
So would someone please explain if it is possible or not? and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
You cannot remove apps from a cooked rom. Search for Vanilla roms if you just want the base rom without any extras and then you can install you own apps.
well you can, but for that u'll have to dump the ROM first, remove the apps you dnt like and recook it
you can not dump the TNT roms. when you try, there are no RGU'S or DSM's.
You can dump my rom if you like, but you will get some missing files you will have to put back into the oem.
the missing files come from me not editing the rgu's when I cook.
try dumping Hornet5. for the most part you will get complete packages, but also some "missing files". just put them back into the oem/sys and recook.
Thanks for info. Saved me a lot of time.
I finally managed to cook my own rom. Everything works perfect except that:
1) I've used XIP, SYS and OEM files/folders of different builds. Am I going to have problem later?
2) "CommManager.exe" was missing. I've searched the files used in kitchen and the only thing I found is "commmanager.htm". Later I managed to download and install HTC CommManager but I can't assign in to its button (button 6). Is there any solution for that?
3) How may I extract the "splash screen" from one build, and upload it to my phone?
4) Bluetooth is not working. It says there is no bluetooth hardware on device. Also WLAN disconnects after a few seconds. How may I extract the drivers from original ROM and upload it?
I know the above questions are too much, but actually I'm so excited that my first attempt to cook a rom was successful (almost). I hope one of you experts be kind enough to help me solve the above issues and have a perfect phone.
Thanks in advance.
you will have some problems with the initflashfiles.dat in the oem, as well as the "oemtranslation.prvxml" or something which controls your icons for programs and control panel.
The best thing to do is use the same build OEM SYS & ROM folders.
If you dumped hornet 5, then your best bet ist to work with everything in it. I was working at this rom after Sleurhut for about a month or two.
mixing builds of those folders makes you start from scratch again fixing up your oem again.. and again.
as far as the missing files, try using the Xdump method; or use the searcher on your PC to find the missing files folder and the contents.
Dear S.V.I
Thank you so much for your ongoing support and help.
As I've mentioned before, I'm a total newbie trying to have a clean WM6.1 on Wizard. I've searched and read lots of tutorials here and there, but there are still lots of questions remained.
I tried to play with HyperCore (multi-device) today and I failed in the first step. I've extracted the "nk.nbf" from official i-mate KJam ROM using WinRAR. HyperCore is installed and I've a "C:\Core" folder as well as a "HyperCore" folder on my desktop.
The "DumpRom" is asking me to make sure the "nk.nbf" is in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" folder. Well it is there. Press Enter and the error message says: "There is no nk.nbf in Core\Extract\Source".
No it is not. First, it asked me to put it in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" not "Core\Extract\Source". Second, there is no "Extract" folder under "C:\Core". Even after creating Extract\Source under C:\Core and copying nk.nbf there, the same error message appears again.
So, what I'm missing here?
Same
I'm also scratching my head on this problem too. I've even tried creating extract\source folders in locations C:\core\ and desktop\hypercore\ but still no luck.
I'm wondering however that the issue could be caused by vista/7's change from Documents and Settings\user\desktop (2000, XP) to Users\user\desktop.
It may change the way the batch files are called but i'm really rusty on batch commands these days
I would start with the sticky "How to cook a ROM" thread, focusing on CRACING's kitchen, then move to Nekid Angel (Post #3)
where you will find a more updated ROM ready to cook. If you want to try WM6.5 a good ROM and kitchen is at [WM Kitchen] Wizard Kitchen or CRACING's RC6. I have been playing around with that.
You might move your discussion to one of the cooking or kitchen threads mentioned above, too, since that is where others will look.
Perfect
That's what i was looking for thanks for the heads up N2rjt!
Hello all ,
I ran into the problem of liking a rom that was protected..
no problem , only thing i want to add was remote tracker.
the rest i do with uc.
So with the help of da_g i striped a kitchen to unpack and repack protected roms.
to add a package , just unpack..put your cab in the dump dir and add it to config????.txt
and repack.
that way i get the use the protected rom with my own package build in.
thought i would post it.

hi arnoldl,
i want to thank you and everyone have helped you to create and publish this. i was searching something like this since many time ago, finally i found your thread and i was able to add RT to the rom i use!
i think this will be useful to many other people
i have changed something and it works perfectly with my blackstone!
thank you thank you.

What is the difference in extracting ngh file, adding cab file to dump folder, updataing config.txt and recooking compared to installing the cab file using UC?
Can we add visual kitchen packages to this dump folder? If we can add do we need to just copy all the files in all the folders of the package to dump folder?
eg: in the package there are some files in 0409 and some in files folder , _skip, app.reg, all these goes to dump folder?
Thanks
@DarkRenegade
No problem , happy that i helped...

If i would buy a phone of the street , i would do the folowing.
- check if there are funny things on it
- format the card
- hardreset the phone
and gone is your remote tracker protection..
If i cook rt in, with my personal settings for it.
after a hard-reset it's installed again , so i can still gps find my stolen phone after a complete format.
only next step i want to take is to re-hard spl , to prevent reflashing if posible.
but these days with new 6.5 images coming out so quick i flash so often i will wait with that one
but all other things i install by uc or later shashimi
Don't know if you can add kitchen files.
never tried it.....
btw attached a new version.
remade it to work with the new envirus kitchen the newer 6.5 roms are using..

You have a Trojan horse in first post!!!
All this to add a couple of cabs to a ROM ? Isn't it a whole of a lot easier to just... you know... install them after ? Or maybe even UC them to make it even lazier ?
Does this work with other roms from other devices? Or just Raphael roms?
I tried this but it extracts os.nb and os.nb.payload and also os.nb.extra but when it starts to create dump it fails

Use the latest version of extractor, place the .nbh file in BaseROM, rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and run the extractor.
That worked for me.
A little late reading this, but I downloaded it to rip a rom from a little known site & guess what... Theres a trojan in that 1st post, virus software just riped it out of 2 kitchens recently downloaded as well as that 1st post file.
file namned Win32/Delfsnif.dx
I used your extractor but when i use old (1,2mb) i have problem with rom (sense 2.5 crash , windows menu crash), when i use new extractor (1,9mb) i don;t have a bootable rom (.nbh is very small 15mb-100mb) Is there any solution?
Sorry for my english I hope you can understand me.
I think there are more usefull tools that could help you.
Let's have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411915
And I believe that this tool is used by most roms makers.
Sorry but this tool is traying to rebuild protected rom into kitchen (with folders - ext, rom, sys etc.) but this is impossible.
Worked Great ! !
It worked great for me!
Moving to general section
You should just move this to the cooking forum. People are always asking if you can modify cooked roms. Then others are always answering that you can't dump and modify a protected rom, which clearly isn't true. So this would work ok in the Cooking forum (can't even remember the name of the forum, even though I'm a mod there, lol).
If this works, than this is pretty kick ass! I was recently trying to simplify the process as you did but your work looks flawless to me! I'll post as soon as I can confirm it works putting the rom back on an HTC rose (htc s743).
After the rom is dumped, what says what files go in what directories? In the dump directory ALL files are in the dump directory and not in the folder structure they would be after the ROM is flashed to the phone. Where would I find what determines the folder structure?
